Multi-Energy System Modelling

Develop rigorous, client-ready energy concepts in hours, not weeks.

Take on more projects with the same team. Sympheny handles the scenario preparation so your engineers focus on the judgement clients actually pay for. For most teams, the time recovered pays back the licence cost within the first two projects.

Core advantages

A rigorous optimisation engine wrapped in a practical planning platform.

Sympheny handles the whole planning job: assembling the data foundation, building a digital twin, running the optimisation, then comparing scenarios and getting the outcome in front of the people who decide.

Multi-energy by design

One model for all energy carriers

Model electricity, heat, cooling, gas, hydrogen, storage and mobility together, instead of as separate studies that never quite line up. Sector-coupling options and infrastructure constraints sit side by side, so you compare them on the same footing.

  • Multiple conversion technologies per hub
  • Storage modelled inside the same optimisation
  • Add custom technologies from your own assumptions

Conversion technologies and storage candidates configured in one project — heat, electricity and solar carriers shown together.
Digital twin for planning

Iterate at district scale — without starting over.

Pull asset catalogues, hourly demand profiles, tariffs, GIS layers and meter data into a single model you can reuse. Go from one building to a 78-district city without rebuilding from scratch.

  • GIS context for every building and hub
  • Hourly demand and tariff profiles in one place
  • Reusable across feasibility, planning and tendering

Decision-ready outputs

Outputs your stakeholders can actually read

Hourly demand profiles, load-duration curves, Sankey energy flows and Pareto cost/CO₂ comparisons — all generated from the same model and viewable directly in the app. Print to share, no rebuilding charts in slide decks.

  • Hourly resolution across a full reference year
  • Peak-shaving and storage-sizing visible at a glance
  • Stakeholder-ready exports without manual rework

Time to value

A short ramp-up to powerful, flexible energy modelling.

Sympheny gives expert users the flexibility of advanced energy system optimisation without a long implementation burden. For users with prior experience in optimisation or energy-system modelling, the platform can usually be understood in less than a week. Once workflows are established, many studies can be set up in around 30 minutes.

Deep analysis for engineers. Everyday utility for the whole team.

Sympheny is built for the engineer who needs full analytical depth — and designed so project managers, decision-makers, and wider team members can review models, interrogate scenarios, and act on outputs without needing deep technical training. Onboarding a new team member takes about an hour.

Time savings vary by project complexity, input data quality, and team experience. Examples reflect common workflows after the relevant setup is in place.

How Sympheny works at a glance

From building-level site data to a complete multi-energy concept.

Start from real GIS and building data. Optimise across electricity, heat, gas, solar and storage together. Hand stakeholders a Sankey energy flow and a structured report when you're done.

Planning capacity

It pays off quickly.

For most teams, the time Sympheny gives back on data prep and scenario work covers the annual licence cost within the first two projects.

For Professional Teams

Built for the organisations shaping local energy systems

These are the teams who turn a stack of technical options into a decision: a plan their organisation will fund and a client will sign off on.

Engineering & Consulting Teams

Engineering firms, consultants, and advisory teams

Engineers and project teams lose weeks wrangling scattered inputs into shape before they can build scenarios solid enough to put in front of a client.

Explore engineering workflows

Utilities & Energy Providers

Utilities, grid teams, and energy providers

Plan across sites, networks, tariffs and investment horizons that run decades out, with scenarios solid enough to back a real infrastructure call.

Explore utility workflows

Cities & Public-Sector Planners

Municipalities, cantons, and public agencies

Build energy strategies, district plans and the reporting that goes with them, on a process that survives public-sector timelines and the people you have to bring along.

Explore public-sector planning

Developers & Industrial Sites

Real estate developments, campuses, and industrial sites

Weigh site energy concepts on CAPEX, OPEX, CO₂, grid constraints and phasing before you commit to the big infrastructure spend.

How Sympheny is different

Rigour, usability, and proof in the same platform.

A concept only holds up if three things are true at once: the maths is sound, engineers will actually use the tool, and the output survives the meeting where a client picks it apart. That's the bar we built Sympheny to clear.

Rigorous calculations, easier setup

Calculations run on a deterministic MILP engine — no AI in the optimisation loop. Clustering is statistical; ML demand forecasting is opt-in and never trained on customer data.

Multi-energy by design

Model electricity, heat, cooling, gas, hydrogen, storage and mobility together, so sector-coupling choices get judged as part of the same system rather than in isolation.

Proven in the field

Commercially deployed since 2020, with 70+ customers and real-world references across districts, campuses, utilities, industrial sites, and policy scenarios. Includes the Nanoverbund thermal micro-grid in Basel, recipient of the Watt d'Or Prize 2025 from the Swiss Federal Office of Energy.

"Sympheny supports our strategic energy planning in an ideal way. The flexibility is extremely convincing and the sensitivity analysis provides security in finding solutions."
